The New Stitch Regulator!
Hi, Girls, please forgive me for all the delays… I have been really slow, too slow, in making a demo or demos on my NEW regulator as I have promised, due to the enormous final work of editing my new book about my next new invention - Thimblelady’s Magic Square! . As usual, the work is much more than what I can handle within the deadline I have set for myself… But I am getting there! Keep watching this website, I’ll make and load the video demos as soon as the book is out for print by the end of next week! Thank you for your patience. Cheer from Liuxin. Back to work…

Hi Liuxin,
It’s your friend Steve who met you in Houston in 2007 (and before).
Enjoying your new website - I can see you’ve been very very busy.
Just wanted to remind you that it’s not all girls checking in with you.
Hope to see you back in Houston in 2009.

HI, Steve, thank you for checking my website, otherwise, I would have got away with only “girls”. My apologies, boys. -Cheers, Liuxin

I asked this before but do not see the post (or answer). It looks as though the stitch regulator is used at the edge of the fabric. What keeps the stitches from pulling out (through raveling) either as you stitch or through washing?

Hi, Claudia, thank you for your question. The seams will not unravel because you won’t be stitching the raw edges. All seams are folded before sandwiched in between the regulator plates.
I have made 4 new video demos over the last two weekends and they are now on the video page of my website. Go and watch how the Stitch Regulator at work as well as the Magic Marker and the Magic Squares… I even worked out how to add music to my new video demos! I am improving! Let me know if you have more questions that the demo hasn’t “answered”. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I don’t know how I appeared as “admin” instead of “liuxin”. Anyhow, Claudia, it was me. - Cheers, Liuxin still learning.

Liuxin,
Forgive me, not sure if this is the 2nd email. Dog gone nails, have to get them trimmed.
Any way, wanted to congratulate you on your new invention and internet site. both are wonderful! I first saw you on the The Quilt Show with Ricky and Alex and have been salivating ever since. As soon as my budget allows I’m am going to order, order, order! I see that you have the U.S. conversion what would the Canadian version be. I do have a US and Canadian mailing address, but funds come from Canada.
I think that you are very talented and creative and look forward to seeing more of you, in the “quilting world”.
Cheers and Woo Hoo to you,
Stephanie

Can the Stitch Regulator be used to hand sew seams when making clothing?

Hi, Mary, yes, the stitch regulator can be used for all straight piecing - with the only difference as it enable you to stitch extremely beautifully without the pinching pain on your non-sewing hand! I am piecing a jacket with the stitches on top - it is amazingly beautiful! Try it and see the result for yourself.

Hi Liuxin,
I’m looking at purchasing the Stitch Regulator, but would like to know the difference between the large and small. I read that the large is for pieces with batting e.g magic squares, and small for smaller projects but what is the difference in size…can only find 1 measurement 50mm x 100mm x 4.5mm. Could you please help.
Came to web page to buy your Quilting Book and DVD (had a glass in 2001 in Canberra), but after seeing The Magic Square and Stitch Regulator have changed my mind. Great Web page with great products.

I am interested in the portability of the stitch regulator and the Magic Square but I would like to see some photos of finished projects on the web site first. Would that be possible?
I have been a long time user of your thimbles and eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first fabric club delivery later next week. Thanks, Paula
